2017-2018MUSICAL ARTS CONCERT SERIES

Serving both the university community and the entire Gulf Coast region through profound
artistic and academic achievement, the Department of Music Musical Arts Concert Series
features faculty recitals and student ensemble performances worthy of inclusion on
anyone's "not-to-be-missed" list of events. Regular Musical Arts Series attendees
have been treated since 2001 to an average of 35 concerts per season, and this season
will be no exception! Student ensemble programs range from regular concerts by the
Wind Ensemble, Symphony Band, University Chorale, Opera & Musical Theatre, Percussion
Ensemble, Concert Choir, USA Symphony Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble, Flute Choir, various
World Music Ensembles, Brass Ensembles, and Piano Ensembles, while the performing
faculty normally is represented in half of the concerts in the form of terrific solo
and chamber ensemble recitals.

Scheduled in USA's Laidlaw Performing Arts Center 240-seat Recital Hall, concerts
generally begin at 7:30 p.m. for evening performances and at 3:00 p.m. for scheduled
Sunday events. Tickets for admission to all MAS concerts and other ticketed events
are normally sold at the door only (except where indicated) and the hall is open to
our patrons approximately 45 minutes in advance of each presentation. Except where
indicated, tickets are $8 each for general admission and $5 for USA faculty & staff,
USA students, youths under 18 and all senior citizens. (Presently we accept cash
or checks only.) Questions regarding special accommodation or other considerations
should be directed to the Events Coordinator (251-460-7116) or the Music Department
Staff (251-460-6136). Questions also may be emailed to Keith Bohnet at kbohnet@southalabama.edu.
